Aleida Guevara, spokesperson for the Cuban regime, traveled to Spain as a guest at the IV International Meeting Europe for Cuba.
LIMA, Peru – Cuban activists Avana de la Torre and Brayan Infante confronted Aleida Guevara, daughter of Che Guevara and spokesperson for the Cuban regime, on a street in Spain.
The event happened in Seville, the city where the IV International Europe for Cuba Meeting is being held from January 30 to February 1. Guevara is one of the guests at the event, among other representatives of pro-Castro associations in the region, militants of the Spanish Communist Party and left-wing intellectuals.
In videos sent to this editorial office and that also circulate on social networks highlights the moment in which the activists approach Aleida Guevara and, before her astonished gaze, rebuke her for the crimes committed by the Argentine guerrilla.
“Have you said that your father was a racist, that he built concentration camps for homosexuals and shot thousands of Cubans?” asked Infante, popularly known for his YouTube channel “Un asere pensante.”
Surprised and astonished, Guevara’s only response was to shake her head and say “No”, to which she later added a timid “but it’s not true.” The interaction was interrupted by a mob of supporters and attendees of the event.
“That must also be said,” highlighted Avana de la Torre, who later got into an argument with the defenders of the Castro spokesperson and ended up with Infante shouting slogans against Cuban tyranny and for freedom on the Island.
In recent years, Aleida Guevara has become a key figure within the propaganda of the Havana regime, issuing controversial statements and actively participating in the agenda of the Cuban Communist Party both inside and outside the Island.
The last appearances of Aleida Guevara
Che’s daughter was caught on camera last August while shopping at a dollar store in Havana. The situation contrasts with the image of austerity and common citizens that the communist tries to project in interviews and Castro’s propaganda.
Guevara March, who is a retired pediatrician, acknowledged in July 2024 that her salary is just over 4,000 pesos (approximately $10 in the informal market), which in the current Cuban context is insufficient to buy a person’s basic basket.
“A cheese costs you 7,000 (17 dollars), a carton of eggs cost 3,000 (7 dollars), now it is going down. But tell me, either I eat eggs or I do something else, but I can’t do everything, it’s not possible,” said the spokesperson for the dictatorship, whose origin and ties with the Castros allow her a life of privileges and trips outside the Island.
At this moment the economic situation in Cuba is “very, very difficult,” added Guevara March. during an interview with the communication space Voices in Fightseeking an image of a salaried person who goes through the same vicissitudes of the town.
“The salary that we state workers receive is not enough to live on and that is a serious problem in a socialist society. We must solve that. I don’t know if by increasing the salary. I think not, the correct thing would be to control prices,” he said.
The journalist Mario Pentón posted the images of Guevara March in the 3rd and 70th market where he is seen interacting with other buyers in the meat area.
In May 2024 Che’s daughter also offered statements about the private sector in Cuba and the risks that in her opinion are contained in the country’s micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) that import in foreign currency and sell at high prices.
“Some people say: ‘but if prices are controlled, MSMEs would stop importing’. Well, let them stop importing! During the special period, we lived without those imports and we lived better in that sense. We all had shortages, we all had needs, but it was even,” he highlighted.
Guevara March battles against inequalities on the Island, for decades a chimera of the communist system in Cuba. Faced with this reality, the pediatrician prefers to standardize the misery and deficiencies on the Island. In that sense, she warned that the private sector on the Island is a source of divergence.
“These activities are creating problems because many times they directly import goods purchased in dollars, which when converted to pesos cost too much for the Cuban people,” he explained.
The case once again highlights the privileges of the Castro leadership and its allies. In an investigation carried out weeks ago by Cubanet It was revealed that the businesses that Aleida’s family manages from Havana are part of an international commercial emporium under the “Che Guevara” brand. Companies ranging from clothing and beverages to cafes and franchises, as well as million-dollar publishing agreements with foreign groups.
